Research abstract
This research project will demonstrate novel OAM mode convertor technology based on ring core photonic lanterns for nonlinear laser sources in the visible range. Our mode convertors are enabled by innovations in photonic lantern technology that allow high-efficiency generation of custom defined OAM modes of three wavelengths simultaneously. In our system each wavelength is mapped to a particular OAM mode and can be reconfigured. Our photonic lantern mode conversion device can be directly spliced to custom multimode fibers supporting the propagation of OAM mode of high orders.
